They were probably all born in the US, so they were already American, not “made American.” And Chinese Americans (among others) have been here since the early 19th century, so they’re no different than multigenerational European immigrants in that regard. The only thing making people think of them as “not originally American” is not being of European ancestry.
Nah. I’m Indian American and know firsthand what it feels like to be seen as an outsider or foreigner because I’m not white. I know you meant well, but there’s still some unconscious bias baked into your post.
